fordsun620

I have it listed on craigs right now for a pretty crazy price, my roomy is getting ready to sell the 510 wagon and i want it pretty bad.... if anything I have it listed high becuase i really don't want to get rid of it but if someone is willing to pay that price then whatever... plenty of awesome datto's out there and i wouldn't mind moving on.

It had points, I had to convert it to duraspark. Not sure on the trans,or if the motor's the euro or not, I'm gunna get under there today and write down some numbers and figure it out. I'd like to pick up one of the offenhauser 4brl intakes for it at some point, and i guess they made a supercharger for it at one point but I'm assuming those are long gone. gotta do some more research.

Damm, looks like I need to come out to Fallon and meet you guys at some point, I need to see this beast in person!!

Nice man!

Not positive but they said it came from a capri, I've been able to cross reference parts from both though. it's a cologne 2.8... it was such a hot mess when i got it but it runs like a champ now, probably one of the quickest vehicles i've owned, i've had a lot of fun with it seeing how as it's such a sleeper! Hey by chance do you know if there's any clubs or meets in the area? I've noticed a few really nice 620's around lately, maybe we should all get together at some point this summer have a bbq or something...

looks rad man! dig the wheels

nope, left the bumps left the leafs, i was reading they get really squishy when you remove the leafs and i really wanted to just level the truck out, i've owned enough really low cars and am kinda over having to angle over stuff all the time.

Also, random question, anybody else have a problem with the dif hitting the bed after a 3" drop on the rear...

For reference, this is the roomates 510 wagon ...

Yup, it runs too good, if it ends up blowing a head gasket (which I guess that 2.8l is notorious for) I was thinking about replacing it with the 2.9l or going balls out and putting a 302 in it but I'm pretty sure I won't own it long enough for that to happen. This pickup is kindof like a spring board into the datsun world for me, I really want to get into a 510 wagon or there's a few b210's around here I've been looking at. Other thing I've been thinkin about is once I get this truck into good solid visual and running shape I was thinking about going back to that guys house and seeing if he'd be down to trade into one of his 520"s. I dunno we'll see.

At JVB, Hahaha, ya I wish you would have gone and looked at it, the girl who sold it to me, her grandfather is a datsun pickup FANATIC!! He's got at least 1 of each generation, 320 on up, and a hill of parts for each one!!! Unfortunately he's a bit tweaky (no joke, the whole family is) shut in that wants serious gold for all of it!! As for the tires, ya they're two different sizes, they were going for the 70's dragster look and when I got it the big ones ere actually on the front! The roommate and I ended up talking them down to $850 on it because it was so tore up when the daughter showed it to us. As for the body, ya the trims pretty beat and missing the rubbers in some pieces but I'm also thinking that if I remove it the paints kinda nasty there anywise so I'd have to deal with that too... I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave it alone though and just clean up whats there.

Thanks!! So I'm gunna remove the side trim soon. I can't decide if i want to just leave it nasty and full of holes from the trim and random add on tiedowns or fill them. The truck has a lot if dings and small dents, a bit of body rot and a crapped out paint job. I want to leave it ratty but the paint isn't good ratty, it's chips and flakesand dents ratty... Any thoughts? I've been thinking about just blending the chips out and just waxing what's there, i can do body work pretty well but i kinda want to leave that to someone else.

fixing my driver side latch today!

At King Rat, you're very right, the seats are uncomfortable!!

Thanks all! Truck's running good now, I've got most of the wiring cleaned up, i still need to wrap everything up though. I do want to replace the factory harness to clean out the rest of the bugs. Bomber seats went in yesterday, lowered the rear to level it out
